    After kell brook puts Floyd in a coma he will unify the titles and retire as the greatest ever.

    Manny is already on a bigger decline the Floyd is; please put the crack pipe down.

    One year isn't enough time for anything major to happen, excluding some crazy upset.

    Floyd
    Manny
    Maidana
    Khan
    *insert hyped fighter*

    Thurman Porter Brook Mattasya Prov.. basically someone who is knocking out C and B level fighers and has gotten needlessly hyped.

    Kinda thought that. Has he ever been on ShoBox or Friday Night Fights? The only 3 fighters that he fought that I recognize are Galarza, Senchenko and Hatton. I see he had 3 fights with the great Ernie Smith.....

    At 147lbs I don't see anyone defeating Floyd unless he loses a signifigant step and that person would have to be either Thurman or Khan. Maidana as tough as he is and for all the hype surrounding him these days is (in reality) quite limited. I believe Thurman/Garcia TKO's Marco's...Porter possibly out points Marcos though Marco's if well prepared can make a good fight out of it. Hard to make a listing....I'd go with
    1.Floyd
    2.Pac
    3.Garcia
    4.Khan
    5.Porter
    6. Marcos

    Not sure if Lucas and Provo will make there splash into 147lbs by then

    Wow I forgot Bradley :patsch

    Timmy is surely in the mix, I can see him beating Khan & Marcos possibly outpointing Danny though his hardest outing would be the hard hitting Thurman...this is all based on styles.

    In 5 years time both Mayweather and Paquiao will have retired
    So for me the top 5 welterwights may be, in no order -
    Keith Thurman
    Jose Benavidez
    Alex Saucedo
    Amir Khan
    Shaun Porter

    I really like timmys work ethic. I thinks he's gonna come back from his first loss and improve, by training even harder and being ultra dedicated to prove he's one of the best. Based on that i think he'd beat any of them you mentioned but i doubt them fights will happen any time soon sadly.

    I remember seeing Porter as a short stocky MW and I told to myself that kid ain't ****. He is not going to make anything more significant than fighting Pac in sparing. And then I saw his Pryor impersonation against Pauli. He looks really impressive at the moment and I think that he will be just behind Floyd in an year or two. I can't see Garcia being that effective at WW, he has had a great career thus far but some of his flaws were exposed in the last fight. He doesn't have a good footwork and savvy boxers will out-fox him. I'm not sold on Thurman personally I have doubts about his jaw.

    All would be awesome and super competitive, but as you stated I doubt they will be made...

    Its the only thing i dont like about boxing as a sport compared to others, the best dont always compete against the best. We just live with it cus we love boxing.
